Listed as one of the largest and scariest haunted houses in the world, Fuji-Q Highland’s Labyrinth of Fear is not a place for the fearful. With its hospital setting and 900 meters of puzzling maze to deal with amid strange echoes and sounds, this two-story building depicts the perfect labyrinth of fear.

The Labyrinth of Fear has a history traced to a popular hospital close to Mount Fuji where doctors were accused of selling internal organs of patients and disposing of their bodies which occasioned the spirits of the dead victims to haunt back and kill many doctors, a legend that has lived ever since.

The craziest experience I had with my partner (I went there with one more person) was the Room of No Escape where we were confined in a confusing space with weird ambience, no visible exit route, and ghosts chasing after us. That was so horrifying that I ended up losing my voice due to shouting non-stop. I doubt I would ever have the guts to try Fuji-Q’s haunted house again. >_<

If you think you’ve got the nerves to try out the eerie sounds, experience strange sights and smells, and walk through extremely dark passages, then the Labyrinth of Fear is for you!

But if you really can’t take it anymore, no worries. There are pink doors marked “retire” in a few parts of the building where you can just take the moment you decide to give up. But don’t you dare! The Labyrinth of Fear is something you would be proud of once you complete the 50 minutes of pure terror!

Age restrictions: elementary school students & upNumber of visitors: limited to 1500 people per day* They don’t allow any visitor to enter this haunted house alone so you should bring at least one friend.

Ticket Price:500 JPY (on top of the whole park’s entrance fee)*Please see the table below for a complete list of entrance ticket prices as of June 2017.

Fuji-Q Highland’s Labyrinth of Fear really sounds scary. I for one would not like to be confined to a scary room with apparently no exits and being chased by ghosts. It is so scary! But I know many people get a thrill out of it.

This is one place I will not step my foot into ! If I do, I won’t be able to sleep for a week. Though the history behind this is quite disturbing – human organ racket. I am glad you survived 50 minutes with just losing your voice.
